while on approach to John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Alitalia
flight was roughly three miles from runway 31R when the incident occurred at
an altitude of approximately 1,750 feet. The unmanned aircraft came within
200 feet of the Alitalia plane. The drone was described as being 4-feet in
diameter, with four propellers, and black-colored.
